"I didn't do it okay! It's not my fault!" Everyone was staring at me and I feel embarassed for yelling. Miss Coldwick, the headmaster of the orphanage stood up and came to the scene where I was. She pulled my hair and started talking. "Not your fault then who is it?" I pointed my finger at Karmelita, the snobby blond girl who bullied me for years. Miss Coldwick knows that it wasn't my fault for tripping on the floor with loaves of bread in the basket in my hands. She wants me to feel humiliated towards everyone else. "It wasn't my fault Miss Coldwick! It was Karmelita! I was walking with the bread basket when suddenly she puts her foot out so I can trip!" "Nonsense! No wonder why no one wants to adopt you! You are just a spoiled brat looking for attention!" I was in tears when she said that. I was really hurt by the words she said in her mouth. "Stop crying you impudent girl!" She grabs the bread on the floor and forcely shove it in my mouth. Everyone was laughing and they were calling me names. Tears came out of my face and I'm starting to get heavy from all the abuse Miss Coldwick puts me through. I ran from the cafeteria and went to the restroom. I looked myself in the mirror, thinking to myself like what did I do that makes them so angry? I hear voices outside the restroom. I locked the door so nobody would come in. I slumped against the wall and slipped down on the floor. Then I was curled in a fetal position. The restroom was really dark and smelly but I didn't care. I was thinking about the good things I use to have when I was a little girl. The memories I could remember was when my dad took me fishing. I would look to his face and he would smile. Then I would just hug him so much because I love him. Then there was my mother who took me to the library. The library was big, with full of books in different categories. That's how I got interested in reading. I would read books about romance, fairy tails, horror, and other genres that interests me. I had a perfect childhood until the police told me that my parents are found dead in the house while I was still in school. That's when everything changed. My parents were the only one I had so the authorities took me to an orphanage. I hope it was a good one but it wasn't. I was living in the orphange for over five years now. The friends that I used to hang out with are now adopted. I feel lonely and depressed from this stupid orphanage. "Esther! It's me! Madison!" I stood up from the floor and fixed my hair to the mirror. I can hear the keys rumbling outside, Madison is trying to open the door. Madison is the wife from the chef who cooks food for the orphans. She is also the only who was nice to me. "Esther don't cry are you okay?" I nodded my head up and down. I stood up and hugged her. "I'm sorry sweetheart but if you rebel the orders in this orphanage, you will be thrown out to the streets okay?"
"But it's unfair! They never treated me respect!"
"Well just a few years left and you are out of here. Now it's getting late, Go wear your nightgown and go to bed okay?"
"Okay"
She kissed me on the forehead and I hurried into the room were the clothes are stored. The orphanage room that I will sleep at has hundreds of beds for girls like me. My room is for teenage girls. The other one is for toddlers 1-5 and the other room is for kids 7-12. I took my clothes off, and wore my nightgown. Then I threw my clothes into the big laundry basket. I went to the orphange room and went to bed.
